But despite finding themselves 31-10 down, Bedwas kept at it and were rewarded through a Jonathan Davies debut try with ten minutes left of the game. Joe Scrivens converted for two extra points, with a losing bonus point in sight.

Unfortunately for Bedwas, they were unable to clinch the bonus point, with Llandovery’s Maynard scoring a try and converting it himself as the final whistle blew to rub salt into Bedwas wounds.

Following the 38-17 defeat, Bedwas slip to 14th place in the league.

Bedwas return to the Bridge Field on Saturday (January 19) to welcome 5th-place Newport RFC in the Principality Premiership.
